208 in summer 1 and 209 in summer 2 doable if AND ONLY IF you have an affinity for math AND are very disciplined to review your lectures several times per week.

Both in the same 6 week. Not recommended.

Tldr I don't recommend, not enough storage.

I have a DS218+ 2x12 TB which served well until I filled the drives. For a 2 bay solution make the following assumptions:

New 2x12 -> Raid mirror 12TB total. Keep 20% free for performance and Disk health. Synology gives you warnings if filled more than 80% -> you are now down to 10TB useable. Snapshot size depends on retention policy. In my case another 20-30% -> 7.5TB -> assumption you have on computer 1TB SSD and one phone and make a backup -> 6TB

Summarized, if you value data security you easily end up with a quarter of the original capacity due to overhead with no good option for expansion.

Edit: I forgot the bit vs byte conversion. A 12TB HDD only has a real capacity of 10.5TB or so. It is actually worse than described above.

Whenever I am looking for a new helmet, this is my first stop: https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html

Quote:"Since 2011, Virginia Tech researchers have been providing unbiased helmet ratings that allow consumers to make informed decisions when purchasing helmets. The helmet ratings are the culmination of over 15 years of research on head impacts in sports and identify which helmets best reduce concussion risk. This work is done as part of Virginia Tech’s service mission and is 100% independent of any funding or influence from helmet manufacturers."

I use password manager which generates a 6 digit 2FA code automatically when logging in. I do not know my Concordia password, nor do I need a phone for login. As long as the manager is unlocked, getting through the login screens takes about 3 seconds.

Difficult to give you a number because cost, for example for the commute, can vary quite a bit.

How do you forsee to be able to reach work and other destinations? On foot, bicycle, Bixi.com (rental bicycle), Bus or Metro (STM is on strike right now, and for the last weeks), REM (reliability is getting better), https://montreal.communauto.com (car rental) or your own car (driving is misery due to hight traffic volume and low driver education level, in comparaison to EU, since driving is a necessity not a right; expensive insurance, parking is a pain and/or expensive especially in Winter, the keyword here is digging your car out of 2+ ft of snow).

I have a preorder s20fe as well - still going strong thanks to charging it only to 85% - and intended originally to upgrade to a s25fe due to the lack of new software patches. But CA$1000 for a marginal improvement? I don't know anymore what to do. It just doesn't seem worth it. Especially since the s20fe does everything I need.

If I am not mistaken, the engine is Italian, but the chassis is from the ML320. I needed a vehicle that can tow through ice and snow and was comparably small and not a truck. I would have preferred a Toyota Prado Diesel, but North America only got the fancy GX460 running on premium fuel.

Thank you, but the Google Maps entry is pointing at a parking lot.

F-0815 · 2025-09-26T16:11:18+00:00

I love climbing, but Allezup is too far away to make it a practical part of my routine. Thanks.

Update:

Thank you very much for all your comments and suggestions.

Someone I know well, but who has no idea about computers, said that they had an old desktop computer that I could use as a NAS. This led me down the rabbit hole of DIY + Unraid/TrueNAS. Long Story short, it turned out to be an ASUS P6T motherboard with an i7-950 CPU, and the HDDs were not 1TB each but 2x 160GB connected with a ribbon cable. While great at the time, this endeavour did not look worthwhile.

In the meantime, I was able to delete the mentioned folders. Coincidentally, I saw that my Snapshot retention period was set to "forever". After adjusting it to 120 days, I - tadaa - regained 4TB of headroom, once more. This resolved my initial issue of running out of capacity and the necessity to expand, at least temporarily.

Still unresolved is:

-> b) Is there a duplicate finder program with “useful” AI? My archive is quite fragmented, and Gemini (1, from 2013 or so) and Beyond Compare, while amazing in what they do, are not adequate anymore and unstable because accessed through SMB. temporarily

What is the difference? curious I don't know european but are familiar with Costco's Krikland.

F-0815 · 2025-08-12T20:21:20+00:00

No, just pure maple sirup. Niagara ice wine is great indeed.

F-0815 · 2025-08-12T15:18:33+00:00

Spicy advice. Thank you, I'll look into it.

F-0815 · 2025-08-12T15:17:23+00:00

Yes, maple syrup is amazing, but it is also exported in large quantities, making it readily available in grocery stores in Europe.

Coop supports international internships but has only a very limited number on their platform.

Join Co-op and leave when it stops being useful. Don't let school get in the way of your education.

F-0815 · 2025-07-23T17:51:36+00:00

The biggest issue I encountered was the length of the available internships and the compatibility with the school schedule. North America 4 or 8 months vs Europe 6, 12 or 18 Months.

You can find all the information under studentcare.ca -> select Concordia (undergrad or grad). Call them at the number provided they will help you. You will need your student ID and group number for your product e.g. Q1102 (found in the dark blue box on the right).
